ToosrrsrrD rkox LA>4 WEEK j
SNOW BOUND At EAGLES
By BRET HARTE.
CHAPTER VII.

A week had passed at Eagles Courts
week of mingled clouds and sunshine by day,
Of rain over the green plateau and snow on
tho mountain by night. Each morning had
brought its fresh greenness to the winter grit
domain and fresh coat of dazzling white to
the barrier that separated its jewellers from
the world beyond. There was little change
in tue encompassing wall of their prison; If
anything, tho snowy circle round them
seemed to have drawn its lines nearer day by
day. The immediate result of this restricted
limit had been to confine the range of cattle
to the meadows nearer the house, and at a
safe distance from the fringe of wilderness
now invaded by the prowling tread of preda-
tory animals. ---~--- ---s
Nevertheless, the two figures lounging on
the slope at sunset gave very little indication
Of any serioHs qsality in the situation. In
decd, 90 far as appearances were concerned,
Kate, who was returning from an afternoon
stroll with Falkner, exhibited, with feminine
Inconsistency, decided return to the world
Of fashion and conventionality just as she was
effectually excluded from it. She had not
only discarded her white dress as a concession
to the practical evidence of the surrounding
winter, but she had also brought out a feather
hat and sable muff which had once graced
fashionable suburb of Boston. Even Falkner
had exchanged his SLOUGH hat and picturesque
serape for beaver overcoat and fur cap of
Halc's which had been pressed upon him by
Kate. under the excuse of the exigencies of
the season. Within a stones throw of the
thicket, turbulent with the savage forces of
nature, they walked with the abstraction of
people bearing only their own voices; in the
face Of the solemn peaks clothed with white
austerity they talked gravely of dress.

Gold at the Assay ONCE.

For several years the product OF the
assay Office was not of as fine quality rs
that obtained at European refiperies, and,
after various experiments We're tried with
out success, Mr.. Mason remembered TO
have read that gold obtained by parting
with nitric acid on being boiled with sui
phuric acid was made 900 1-2 thousandths
fine. When trial was made of this
method its result was satisfactory, and
subsequent experience proved that with
all varieties of bullion one treatment by
nitric acid, and o careful washing of the
gold sponge resulting, and o subsequent
boiling in strong sulphuric acid, would
develop yield of fine gold. To obtain the
best results In the separating department
with suIphuric acid the deposits are so
combined that the gold granulations shall
have over two parts of silver to one OF
gold, care being taken that any copper that
may be present shall not exceed Sper cent.
Of the mixture. About q, 900 ounces can
be treated in the four kettles, The acid
is added To the EXAMINATIONS in successive
portions from q reservoir on n floor above,
into which it is forced by dir pressure from
a receiving cylinder in the basement. tits
boiled about five hours, then allowed to
cool, and afterward siphoncd into silver
reducing tanks, four in number. The re-
tloyal Of the silver in the acid solution
leaves the gold in the dlssolying kettles to
this fresh acid Is added, and it IS removed
10 another kettle, acid being again added
twice The resulting weak solutions Of
silver are sinhnned off, and after the third
repetition of this process gold results,
which, when melted, fiuxed and cast into
bars, Is from sl07 to 098 tbousandths fine.

FIRST VIEW OF VENICE,
On the Shores OF the Adriatic-Aboard a
GondoIa-A Solitary City.

| On the Shores OF the Adrlatic-Aboard =
GondoIa-A Solitary City.
Just as you are quite close to the city
the scenery around you loses what l may
be permitted to style it's platitudes. Hill
and vale, grove and pasture land disap-
pear as if by magic, and while the train
steams along through the lagoons, you
seem to feel yourself whirl into quite
unknown spheres. There is no heritage on
! the ground. No trees fling their shadows
athwart the wastes. All is sea, and all is
reddish sand on the shores of the Adriatic.
Waves, more like those of q lake than
tidal, roll languidly along the strand
within few feet Of the railway carriage;
and there is certain subtle calm BROOD
| ing over the desOlatc scene that renders
the mind pensive and carries it back to
the timo when all was life and hustle amid
these blue waters; when commerce knew
no other rendezvous and industry no
other home than Venice; when trophies
| from western isles and from far Oriental
chimes were waited hither in Venetian
argosies; when the city Of the doges was
the mistress of the universe, aud its glory
and eclat shone resplendently from lara
to Damietta and from Padua to the OAR
danelles. . .... .. .. ...

voice with a certain intensity Of passion un-
like his usual boyish lightheartedness. "Think
of man whose life has been one of alter
nate hardness and aggression, of savage
disappointment and equally savage successes,
who has known no other relaxation than dis
sipation or extravaganza; a man to whom
the idea of the domestic hearth and family
ties only meant weakness, effeminacy, or
worse; who had looked for loyalty and devo-
ton only in the man who battled for him at
his right hand in danger, or shared his pri-
vations and sufferings. Think of slch a
man, and imagine that an accident has sud
denly placed him in an atmosphere of purity,
gentleness and peace, surrounded him by the
refinements of higher life than he had ever
known, and that he found himself, as in a
dream, on terms of equality with a pure
woman who had never known any other life

push forward as experience may
show to be wise, the regulation of
interstate commerce, and to control
the telegraph as mode of public in
telligence that this nation of working
men and women may forever abhor
the red flag of anarchy as treason to
the republic /; to establish postoffice
savings banks for the waee-workers
OF the nation to inaugurate modes
of arbitration between corporations
and employees, under sanction of law
putting laborers on equal footing with
employers to obyiate strikes. lockout
and boycots want party in power
that may never again, through fear
of itself appoint rriumvirate to con-
troll legislation. In a word in place
of Democratic administration that
finds its responsibilities greater than
it can grasp, we want q Republican
administration with courage to affirm
atively do something and dare some
thing for a great progressive people,
which cannot stand still.

Coming from leading Democrat

tract more than casual attentions.
1t implies that when a party places
candidates in the field who are not
considered worthy of support it is
right and proper to cut them, and
vote for the best men. This is the
policy that has been pursued in this
state. and, but for a few designing
men, its effect would long since have
been felt. The feeling of iudepend-
ence, however, is growing stronger
and stronger, and it will not be long

pARNeLps PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
How IL Has Been Biisapprehended and
faA

How IL Has Been Misapprehended and
Exaggerated.
Nature has stamped on the person Of
this remarkable man the qualities of his
mind and temperament. His face is
singularly handsome, and at first glance
might even appear too delicate TO be
strong. The nose is long and thin and
carved, not nodded; the mouth is well
cut; the cheeks are pallid; the forehead
perfectly round, and as striking as the
forehead of the first Napoleon, and the
eyes are dark and unfathomable. The
passer by in the streets, taking a casual
look at those beautifully chiseled features
and at the air Of perfect tranquility,
would be inclined to think that Mr. Par
nell was very handsome young man,
who probably had graduated at West
Point and would in due time die In a
skirmish with the Indians. But closer
look would show the great possibilities
beneath this face. The mouth, especially
the under lip, speaks Of a grip that never
loosens; the eye, when it is fixed, tells of
the infexible viii beneath, and the tran
quillty of the expression is the tranquility
of the nature that wills and wins.
Similarly with his figure. 1t looks
slight almost to frailty; but glance will
show that the bones are large, the hips
broad and the walk firm; in fact, Mr..
Parnell tramps the ground rather than
walks. The hands are firm, and even the
way they grasp pencil has a significance.
This picture of Parnell is very unlike the
portraits which have been formed Of him
by the imagination Of those who have
never met him. When he was first in the
storm and stress of the era Of obstruction
he used to be portrayed in the truthful
pages Of English comic journalism with
battered hat, a long upper lip. shillelah
in his hand, a clay pipe in his caubeen.
Even to this day portraits after this fash
ion appear in the lower class journals that
think the caricature Of the Irish face the
best Of all possible jokes.
Parnell is passionately fond of ireland;
is happier and healthier on its soil than in
any other part of the world. and is almost
bigoted in the intensity OF his patriotism.
But he might easily be taken for native
of another country. Residence for the
first years Of bis life in English schools
has given him strong English accent
and an essentially English manner; and
from his American mother he has got, in
all probability, the healthy paIsor, the
delicate chiseling. the impassive look and
the resolute eye that are typical Of the
children Of the great republic. Such is
the man in brief who to-day is perhaps the
most potent personality in all the many
nations and races Of the earth.
